They were bought by Riot’s parent company, not Riot themselves.
Source? Since if that were true all the articles would have said that they have been bought by Tencent (because that wouldn’t be the first one this year), yet all the news definately said that the company was bought by Riot.
Sweet. I can play more Vlad.
That’s funny, cuz the official announcement says they were bought by Riot…
My bad. I remembered some people stating that that was the case somewhere.
Looking at how ASW has been into something with Riot, i think that maybe, IF there is a LOL fg it will be made by them.
Rumors say that the upcoming BBxTB will have at least one LOL representation (take it with a good dose of salt though)
Damn. I thought I’d read before that Rising Thunder was going open source, but I guess it’s actually just the servers which will be open source.
It’d be so cool to actually be able to tinker with the source code of this game, as well as to see how its online GGPO code is implemented, since that’s like one of the critical things you need to know how to do if one were to try and make a fighting game themselves.
I like this news…too bad it’s pc only still. 
Im still of the opinion that they were bought for their new version of GGPO since high powered internet tech would be very lucrative for them. especially since teams typically live near server centers where they will have the best possible connection to the game. If the tech worked out well then that could make lag less of an issue. but who knows, thats just my best guess anyway.
RESURRECTION!
